Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root wooden medicine cabinet / advertising n

[BDBottle]

Just bought this from an older fella today, he didn't know much about it and neither do I. I haven't been able to find any other crate/cabinet like this one. I pulled out the shelves and a lot of them have pieces of advertising from other crates, some have very old paper advertising on the bottom of the shelves but they're nailed through [&o]

Any way just thought I'd post this and see if anyone knows what it could have been used for, if it was just something someone made back then, or if there are more like these two.

ooo my...

I like that!

I am guessing something a store could use as a sales aid? Or something they used whilst traveling around peddling the stuff?

What a find.
Ever sell it drop me a line.

very cool primitive cabinet that I'm guessing was made by someone who worked at a drug store or had acces to their throw aways. The use of word remedy should date it just after 1906, probably. Not an advertising piece, just a utilitarian piece made by someone who had access to all those crates that were trash then but that we would all love to own today.
